This comes just weeks after we learned FEMA is ending federal door-to-door canvassing of survivors in disaster areas.
It will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people," sources told WIRED.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
